NEW BLOG POST ALERT 🚨... Retrofitting is both interesting and challenging. Bishop Kearney was compelling - high school age girls inhabiting one part of a building with 4 years in another.
5 years later, we were again asked to visit Bishop Kearney High School. This time, the gymnasium and auditorium weren’t organized and ready for another school day. Flags of past championships hung half attached, hallways full of boxes of old paperwork, chemistry lab tables covered in containers needing to be disposed of at some off site place, old yearbooks and school sweatshirts being divvied up to alumni. The newly restored chapel, empty. And this time, venturing into the convent - a whole building full of empty rooms, the Sister's rooms, little SRO’s with sinks, a window and a few shelves. And although the rooms are empty, each Sister left something behind.

Anyone else catching #strangerthings vibes? Don’t worry it’s just spray on fireproofing at Bishop Ford. 👏 #nottheupsidedown

The 1% we are happy to get behind! Team PS 206Q heading to our first artist selection panel at the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs.
In 1982, the Percent for Art law was initiated by Mayor Edward I. Koch and passed by the Council of the City of New York requiring that one percent of the budget for eligible City-funded construction projects be spent on artwork for City facilities.
The Percent for Art Program offers City agencies the opportunity to acquire or commission works of art specifically for City-owned buildings throughout the five boroughs. The purpose of the Program is to bring artists into the design process and enrich the City’s civic and community buildings. #percentforart

You never know what you will find on site 🤷🏻‍♀️ #ctaonsite

Have you checked out our blog yet? No?! You are missing out on gems like today's post about the Poppenhausen Institute in College Point, Queens. One of the building’s distinctions is that it held the first free kindergarten in the entire country in 1870 (!!). The spirit of the institute was to educate and train people, regardless of creed, color or gender. The structure was Landmarked in the 1970’s, but faced possible demolition in the 1980’s. Locals and community leaders successfully prevented its destruction and it now still stands, albeit in need of restoration, still serving the community, holding classes and providing performances.

There are still remnants of the furniture used by students from over 100 years ago in some rooms! #historicpreservation #nyc #ctaarchitects

#repost from @bostonvalleyterracotta 🤩 the restoration of the detailed #terra-cotta facade of 36 Gramercy Park employed the use of 3D scanning and photogrammetry to create shop drawings and record more accurate measurements of these original assemblies.

The Mosaic Pre-K Center is estimated to use only about one-eighth the amount of energy – or 16,150 kilowatt hours (kWh) – when compared to a typical public school, or approximately 169,035 kWhs less per year. This pre-kindergarten’s annual electric bill will be just over $5,200, which will be saving almost $36,000 per year in energy costs. 🤘🏼 Moreover, Mosaic Pre-K will prevent approximately 126 metric tons of CO2 from being released into the environment each year. In terms of greenhouse gases, this would be the equivalent of taking nearly 27 average passenger vehicles off the road per year, or powering the average home for nearly 19 years, or switching 4,210 incandescent light bulbs to LEDs, or consuming 291 barrels of oil. 🌎🌍🌏#ctaarchitects #mosaicprek #passivehouse #design #upk #queens
